Vivien Cycle

My Story with the Name Vivien is dedicated to my niece, the daughter of my little brother Kristian Köngeter. I had the chance to meet this lovely girl when I visit my brother in Texas in 2020. The American community of my brother in general seemed very overwhelmed by Kristian's character. Mine on top of it seemed a little bit too much of the German Köngeter DNA. Vivien also seemed irritated by her German heritage, so I still feel a little bit bad. Vivien and I shared some wonderful moments, though. She is a fan of little Schleich toy animals, which I brought from Berlin as a gift. She loves water and to swim in the ocean, where she taught me how to walk and not step on a poisoned fish. We also recorded a song together and made some fancy fashion photo shooting. One time I was fascinated by an insect on the ground, and when I tried to find words for it, she used the word cycle. I was very impressed since it was exactly the word I was looking for.

Since my brother and Vivien's mother Samantha are co parenting her, the patchwork situation between the new families are intense. One time, she and I decided to take a break from it in having a Spar day with each other. It was very calm, refreshing and healing for both of us. 

What is your story with a cycle of patchwork and the name Vivien.
